Portable Minecraft | Top Holiday Gift #GameOnTheGo #CollectiveBias #ad

Do you have a Minecraft addict in your family? I have to say I was pretty against Minecraft until Dustyn started playing it. I could not believe the creativity he shows while playing. He is always so excited to show me what he has built on Minecraft. He would ask me take photos of the structures he has built, then send them to his Grandparents. I was excited to learn about Gameband which is owned by Now Computing and is affiliated with Minecraft. If anyone has any feedback regarding Gameband they should reach out to Now Computing. With this band Dustyn can have portable Minecraft right on his wrist.

Now he is able to take the Minecraft worlds he has worked so hard on to his Grandparents’ houses and show them what he has built, right there on their computers. Here he is at grandma and granddaddy’s house showing them the glass house he built, his pet bunny named sharknado, and the villagers.

Our Elf, Ralphie, brought the boys a few gifts from Santa when he returned this year. Carsyn got some much needed new pajamas, and Dustyn got the Gameband. He was so excited to learn that he could play Minecraft on any computer now.

Dustyn loves it because it has his name customized on it. Plus, it will show you the date and time. You can also add a sword, Minecraft face, or make your own image.

Gameband ships with PixelFurnace, this is the App that lets you customize Gameband with images, animations, and messages. You can create and then share on the PixelFurnace site. Here is what “Ralphie” customized on Dustyn’s band.

So you can see it a little better without all the movement. Ha ha! Just a side note, it doesn’t look so flashy in real life as it does on the video.

I found the Gameband at Target in the Mobile Gaming Section. It is available in Small (6.7 inches / 15.7 cm) and Large (7.2 inches / 17.3 cm). It only weighs 40 grams and it is Splashproof to IPX-4 Standards.

This definitely would make an awesome gift for the Minecraft fan in your life. I am sure they would love to receive this and have Portable Minecraft.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.
Sweet pea. Sweet pea.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
